A new system of safety monitoring and control devices has been added to the AutomationDirect line of safety-related products. The ReeR MOSAIC safety controller system is modular, expandable and configurable for managing all safety functions of a single machine or an entire plant.

The EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP communications modules are available to connect to most industrial fieldbus systems. The modules connect to the M1 master module via the 5-way bus and are configured through a Type B mini-USB connector via the MOSAIC software designer (MSD) software configurator.

MOSAIC reduces number of devices and wiring used, the overall size of the project and speeds up control panel construction. All logic is configured through the MSD pictorial interface, and by lowering the number of electromechanical components, better performance and higher safety levels are achieved. The MSD software also produces detailed safety reports that can speed the validation process.

The master module is $299.00; expansion modules start at $112.00. Modules are cULus, CE, TUV approved and have a 1-year warranty.
